php include question

[9999]

With the standard php include command:

<? include("filename.php") ?>

do both the included file as well as the file that the included file goes on have to be php files?

 

If not, how could you do this using html files other than using frames?

If you're asking whether you can use the include function in an html file, then no. Not unless you specifiy (serverside) in Apache that you want htm/html files to be parsed as PHP too.

But you can include a .html file into the php file you have the include() in....

So the "host" file must be a php file but the included file doesn't have to be?
